Introducing the Tactical Series: advanced Inertial Navigation Systems
VectorNav Technologies has unveiled a cutting-edge lineup of high-performance Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). This innovative ‘Tactical Series’ features the VN-110 Inertial Measurement Unit and Attitude Heading Reference System (IMU/AHRS), the VN-210 GPS-Aided INS (GPS/INS), and the VN-310 Dual Antenna GPS/INS, all built on a shared tactical-grade proprietary MEMS inertial sensing core.
Leveraging VectorNav’s unparalleled expertise in navigation algorithms and extensive experience in integrating its Industrial Series products across various airborne, marine, and terrestrial platforms, the Tactical Series delivers the comprehensive functionality and features that have established the Industrial Series as the preferred choice for integrators of SWaP-C (size, weight, power, and cost) constrained systems, both manned and unmanned.
Innovative Design and Engineering
Engineered at VectorNav’s dallas, TX headquarters, the Tactical Series utilizes the latest advancements in solid-state MEMS technology. It features a 3-axis gyro with an in-run bias stability of less than 1˚/hr, resulting in an notable attitude accuracy of 1 to 2 mrad. Furthermore, the Tactical Series enclosure meets DO-160G standards and is rated IP68, making it suitable for deployment in challenging and extreme environments.
A Testament to Collaboration and Expertise
John Brashear, President of VectorNav, remarked, “The Tactical Series represents the culmination of years of dedicated development and collaboration with systems integrators across diverse industries. We have merged our digital filtering expertise with our experience in addressing the complex navigation needs of clients globally to create a truly next-generation navigation solution.”
Showcasing the Tactical Series
The Tactical Series is designed to meet the navigation requirements of various unmanned applications and is currently showcased at vectornav’s booth (#1043) during XPONENTIAL 2016 in New Orleans, LA, from May 3-5, 2016.
